SDL_ttf just generates surfaces with the right pixels in them. It has no
knowledge of the different video modes. Therefore it works just fine
with every type of SDL surface and in every mode. The hard part is that
you have to figure out how to get the surfaces that SDL_ttf generates
onto the surface that you are going to see.
